Strong or weak Jet stream

Udgivet den 11. december 2019 by

I actually thought this was correct: Global warming has been used to explain that the Jet Stream would weaken, bringing more extreme weather to the temperate zones. But I kept seeing a meteorologist saying that this was wrong. Not just … Læs resten →

No more CO2 will not lower the temperature

Udgivet den 16. november 2019 by

There is no doubt that we need to get to a net zero CO2 emissions world at some point. It can’t be a surprise that this will take a very long time and unfortunately we do not have the technology … Læs resten →

Sea Level Rise higher than expected

Udgivet den 25. september 2019 by

The estimated future SLR (Sea Level Rise) was just adjusted by IPCC. From the previous report (AR5) the estimate is now about 55 cm over the next 80 years (RCP4.5, range is 39-72 cm)*. In the worst-case scenario it is … Læs resten →

About tomorrow’s climate strike

Udgivet den 19. september 2019 by

Or, as this is more about marketing than reality I’d probably need to write it as “Climate Strike”: American teens are now afraid, angry and helpless. But this feeling is the result of a sham; the world is not ending. … Læs resten →

There’s a lot of water in the oceans

Udgivet den 19. august 2019 by

But I am still surprised that the projected sea level rise due to climate change is expected to be primarily due thermal expansion: RCP2.6 is a best case scenario which I consider unrealistic – there is no political will in … Læs resten →

This was also interesting

Udgivet den 25. august 2018 by

A newspaper clipping from 1912 did its rounds last week and I’ll get to that. But this one was right below it and I found that interesting as well: Tiflis, or Tblisi as we would probably call it today and … Læs resten →

The political consumer

Udgivet den 17. juli 2018 by

I’ve argued that political consumers do not exist; they seem to disappear once the right occasion appears. With Bill Maher’s not-exactly-politically-correct words, I also wish a little more political and a little less consumer: No matter what you do for … Læs resten →

Klimaregulering

Udgivet den 24. januar 2018 by

Jeg tror at vores vilje til at ignorere langsigtede virkninger kommer til at koste os meget dyrt. Den globale opvarmning er et populært eksempel, mens vi mere sjældent taler om den masseuddøen der har foregået i vores tid. Jeg har … Læs resten →
